I was a young kid out of high school Way too soonShe was a willow-wandBlonde as the sunThe world was a hot placeWith water here and thereThe shade of the cool treesWas always whereWe would loveWith the innocence of childhood,With an angelic graceWe would loveAway all the hours that we could takeWe would loveLike innocent flowersIn eternal embraceIt's time for loveSo throw off the chains,Don't be afraid to say

The kids come along thenAnd love fills the roomHer heart is opento every little woundShe feels what they suffer,She makes it her own pain,And the only reward she asksIs to do it all again

Out of lovewith an innocence of childhoodwith an angelic graceIt's just loveShe has in abundanceIt shows in her faceA mother's loveIs the one sure thingYou'll take from this placeA mother's loveA mother's loveA mother's love

You can buy her a card, son,Or any little thingJust one thing you must notForget to bringYour innocent smile now,Your loving faceThat's the only treasureThat can't be replacedShe needs love'Cause she has given allShe had to youWants your loveThere's no other thingThat you have to doYou need to giveTo the one who gave to youA mother's loveA mother's loveA mother's loveA mother's love

Don't buy her a card, son,That's not quite the thingUnless it's got love, son,No joy can it bringBring her a flowerA kindly wordEase her hours as she fadesInto the waning of the day

Yeah, I'm just an old guyBut I know what I sayA mother's love will not fade awayNo her loveWill not fadeNot today, not tomorrow,Not any other dayA mother's lovelasts foreverUntil that happy dayWhen she finds her own motherIn that perfect Mother's DayMother's DayMother's DayMother's Day
